Ben Barnes Gossip

Check out Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones at the premiere of The Theory Of Everything in London last night, an early celebration for their double SAG nominations this morning. Triple, actually, because the film was also nominated for Best Ensemble. Have you seen it? SEE IT. I love this movie. It was my favourite at TIFF. Full Story

No lie - I daydream about having a Dire Wolf (House Stark style) all the time. If I had a Dire Wolf, I would totally be a rapist catcher. Also my poker face would be much better. Nothing says confidence like rolling up to the party with one of nature’s most ruthless killers and then having it sleep at the foot of your bed every night. Full Story

Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper are at Sundance to promote The Words. There was a group media and photo session. They were careful not to be too obvious about the fact that they’re dating. Which makes it even more obvious that they’re dating. Like, practically living together as I understand it. I have tried, several times, to care, even a little, about these two as a couple.

Nope. I’m not done riding you about Misfits yet. And as promised, any time there are photos from the Misfits cast, I will be all over it. Lately it’s been all Robert Sheehan as he promotes both A Turtle’s Tale and Killing Bono which, I don’t know if we’ll get here in North America, so you bitches over in the UK better appreciate how lucky you are.

(Memo to Duana: THEY FILMED THIS IN IRELAND) She’s Irish, you see. It’s a selling feature for her. Anyway, Misfits cast photos are not a weekly occurrence. So when they happen, they have to be posted. By the way, have you watched Misfits yet? Look, all the episodes from the first 2 seasons are online. Full Story

Movie release dates are very confusing. I thought Dorian Gray was out a long time ago. And it’s available now on Air Canada, at least it was when we flew Toronto to Frankfurt en route to Nice. So I thought it had already opened in North America but now I’m not entirely sure since Ben Barnes was promoting it today in Spain. Full Story

Last night at the NY screening of Easy Virtue – Jessica Biel propped up her Shelf Ass hard to promote her movie alongside Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. Hmmm…two for two this week on Colin Firth. Bonus. It’s actually not the worst she’s looked. Much better showing here than at the Met Gala last week with Pipple as her date…which brings us back to that theory: he can’t exist without being #1.

At the box office and on television, the young man quiveration factor came from the UK… Am aware James McAvoy is Scottish. But I liked the title…forgive me please? He’s from Scotland! He’s Scottish! And this summer, for a couple of weeks, his Wanted launched him up several notches – a star who can do the small, arty films as well as carry an action movie. Full Story

Chris Weitz, director of About a Boy and the Golden Compass, has been confirmed as the new director for New Moon, the sequel to Twilight. My sources tell me he arrived in Vancouver on Sunday and has spent the last couple of days beginning pre-production, in meetings with local crews, and starting to scout locations in preparation to shoot in March which means, ugh, my city this Spring will be taken over by screaming AssLight superfans and their equally, um, enthusiastic mothers.

For three nights during TIFF, Bonyan Films has sponsored parties at the Park Hyatt rooftop – always the hottest celebrity destination at the end of the night, attracting the likes of Kate Hudson, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Adrien Brody, pretty much every star who has come through the festival and a few super producers too.

Noel Coward’s Easy Virtue is being adapted into a major motion picture. First stills from the movie have been released and posted by Cinempire. Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ben Barnes… And an odd ass out. Full Story
